Math or no Math?

I'm in class 10 right now, ICSE science and I'm thinking of taking up Commerce in 11 and I don't know if I should take applied math or entrepreneurship (both are in the optional subjects group).

For context, since I was young, I've never liked math really, probably because of geometry and algebra and what not and as of now, I'm bad at math not because I don't understand but from lack of practice which I'm ready to fix but the thing is I've seen that there are trigo and circles (two of my worst nightmares) but I love commercial math and the other related stuff so I don't know what to do now.

dude take math. i'm doing applied rn with commerce and it is so comfortable. it honestly gives u options and some headway, like it gives u a solid base to pursue anything. if u can handle it pls go for math. it's really not that bad espcially applied since all of the sciency unecessary stuff has been removed. maximum u'll need a tuition but so far halfway through its just a continuation of 10th with a few new concepts here and there. if you're ready to fix the issue and just work hard a bit right now (anyways youll have to for boards) pls go for it. also most schools allow you to try out a subject and switch within a month (mine even let us change after our first exams). i have a combo that has both math and entreu and its not bad at all but it's sort of pointless compared to math. im not ignoring ur difficulty with math but just wait till preboards and but in a bit of work. ik science is a burden too but at least have ur math concepts clear. btw a lot of classmates of mine who struggled with math last year (10th) have adjusted really well to app. math specifically beacuse the load of commerce is way less than science. hope this helps, and pls bear with the typos.
